. >> joining me now, eliot cohen, former counselor at the state department under condoleezza rice. perhaps you can tell by that, a republican, a conservative, also a never trumper. mr. cohen, essential is it to have foreign policy pretend that the president's pronouncements don't exist or to have various members of his cabinet explicitly rebutting them all the time? >> well, it's not tenable. there are a number of problems. if people get used to the idea that you can't believe a word that he says, there are real consequences to that. the other problem that you've got, an awful lot of the effort now of his national security team, secretary mattis, secretary tillerson and so on, is devoted to cleaning up messes. and when you're cleaning up messes, you're not able to take the initiative of taking a wide range of issues that we're facing in the years ahead. >> you said this, which i keep thinking about this quote. i've been in this town for 26 years. i've never seen anything like this, referring to the president. i don't think this is a mentally healthy president. what did you mean by

ties with russia and congressman eliot engel calling for trump to fire flynn. what do you think will happen next? >> if you want to get flynn out of that job, the last thing to do is have my friends, congressman engle ask for that to happen. that will just make president trump resist ever more. what has to happen is, this investigation is going to happen. it's not just democrats. it's the american public and it's many, many republicans in congress who want to get to the bottom what russia is up to. they don't think it's up to good things and that's what we have a constitutional system for and the trump administration simply has to adjust to that. in the case of flynn, the president isn't going to fire him. the question is, will we see more things like this, that's what worries me because flynn has to deal with very, very powerful, very self-confident cabinet members and foreign dignitaries who will take him at his word and need to deal with him at a very, very confidential and intimate level. and thus it's very, very important that things go well with him, beca
